May 25, 2016It's been a pleasure to review this series and I'm sad to see it go, but I urge anyone who reads this to pick up this 12 issue collection coming in August. This has been one satisfying series and I wish Tom King and Barnaby Bagneda the best in their future projects. Read Full Review

May 26, 2016That said, it is the story and characters that have drawn me into this book and this issue is no exception. These are characters I can believe in, characters I can understand viscerally and characters that produce emotional reactions. This is a story that exudes-though, care and a natural progression. And this a series that sticks the landing. Read Full Review

Comicosity - Amy Ziegfeld
May 28, 2016I hesitate to call Omega Men a perfect comic, if only because I hate to think of art as something that is perfectable. With that said, Omega Men is as close to a flawless comic as I have read since I first began reading comics, and this last issue brings the series to, if not necessarily a satisfying conclusion, then one that is wholely in keeping with everything that came before it.

May 31, 2016The Omega Men is the singular best comic DC's released in years, a comic that will be there for readers long past its issues have fallen off shelves. Read Full Review

May 26, 2016DC deserves so many thanks for reconsidering cancelling this little-selling but beloved book. Tom King and Barnaby Bagenda got a chance to fully tell their story and, let me tell you, it's one incredible ending. Read Full Review

The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge
May 26, 2016The Omega Men has been one of the best books I've read this past year and a solid and complete work that just completely delighted me month after month. This issue serves as a perfect epilogue of sorts to what's gone down with how this war unfolded and the sheer attrition that went on during it. King and Bagenda have put together something truly special here that will get overlooked by many for some time to come because it played to the science fiction side of the DC Universe instead of the usual capes and cowls on Earth. When people do discover in trade form and in sales in years to come, they'll find what a lot of us were raving about and truly treasure the experience they get out of it. This is the kind of work that helps to push the boundaries within the big established universe and I can't wait to follow these creators onto new works to see what they have in store for us elsewhere.

Great sci-fi comic, one of the best DC has ever published. King needs to start channeling great stories like this again

Back when Tom King was untouchable. Sorely miss this quality of writing from him. So rare for a series, or story arc for that matter, to produce an ending as merited and satisfying as this. One of those issues where the quotes, the characters, and the moments stick with you years after reading it.

9.0
For me personally after re-reading it and thinking it over again I appreciate this series a lot more now because it makes Kyle Rayner interesting and forces him to confront people who are more complex. It's not as good as Vision, but its probably my second favorite project from Tom king.
